### A Tranquil Retreat in Saint-Priest-les-Fougères

Imagine a place where the countryside unfolds before your eyes, offering uninterrupted views of rolling hills and the gentle presence of the village church. This property, nestled in an elevated position, provides just that. It’s a place that feels both serene and connected, a few minutes’ walk from the charming village of Saint-Priest-les-Fougères.

### Entering the Property

The journey to this home begins with a sense of arrival. You’ll enter through electric double gates, leading you up a driveway. The house itself is thoughtfully constructed over a basement level, often referred to as a ‘sous sol’ in French. This lower level is a practical space, housing a laundry room, a cellar for storage, and a workshop area. There’s also room here for a vehicle, and a staircase conveniently connects this area to the ground floor of the house.

### The Ground Floor Living Experience

Step up to the ground floor, and you’ll find yourself on a veranda that gracefully wraps around two sides of the house. This covered space is ideal for enjoying the outdoors, even on warmer days, thanks to extending blinds. The interior of the house is designed to feel open and well-lit, with rooms that offer a good sense of proportion.

As you move through the entrance, to your right, you’ll discover a well-equipped kitchen featuring an island. The living room is L-shaped, creating distinct zones. One area is set up for comfortable relaxation, centered around a wood-burning fireplace, while the other functions as a dining space. This dining area benefits from a pleasant outlook onto the back garden and its potager, a section dedicated to growing vegetables and herbs. The numerous double doors on this level can be opened up, allowing the living space to seamlessly extend onto the veranda during the summer months.

A hallway on this floor leads to a bedroom complete with an ensuite bathroom. This bathroom is fitted with a bathtub, a separate shower, a hand basin, and a toilet. At the other end of the hallway, you’ll find a separate toilet and the staircase that descends to the basement.

### The Upper Level: Bedrooms and Views

A second, sturdy solid wood staircase ascends to the first floor. Here, a spacious landing welcomes you. This level hosts a shower room, a separate toilet, and three double bedrooms. Two of these bedrooms offer particularly appealing views, looking out over the front garden and the landscape beyond.

### Location and Local Amenities

This property strikes a good balance between peaceful seclusion and accessibility. It’s located just a short walk from the heart of Saint-Priest-les-Fougères, a village known for its delightful patisserie and tea room. While you are surrounded by the beauty of the countryside, you are not isolated. There are neighbours nearby, but the house is positioned to ensure privacy without a feeling of being overlooked.

The surrounding area is popular, particularly during the summer months, offering opportunities for walking and cycling along scenic trails. Nearby lakes provide opportunities for water-based activities, and there are historical villages to explore, along with numerous local fêtes and events.

For greater convenience, the town of La Coquille is a mere four-minute drive away. La Coquille offers essential amenities, including a train station, a medical centre, bars and restaurants, schools, a small supermarket, a butcher, and a baker. The N21 road passes through La Coquille, providing easy access to the cities of Limoges and Périgueux, both of which are known for their individual character and attractions.
